More than a dozen candidates (15) make up the race for the White House in 2024. However, despite the large number and diversity among the candidates, a majority of voters (52%) would like to see other candidates participate in the presidential race, according to a survey by Quinnipiac University.
Among the groups of voters, Republicans (67%) claim to be most "happy" or "satisfied" with the candidates who represent their party, while only 29% are dissatisfied and would prefer others. Democrats (58%) reveal that they would prefer to have a greater variety of candidates, as do independents (72%).
According to Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy:

Trump remains ahead in the race for the White House
In a possible showdown between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the former president is projected to earn 48% of voter support, compared to the 46% for the current president. However, the poll maintains that it marks "the first time since February 2023 that Trump has the numerical edge over Biden as all other Quinnipiac University polls have shown close races, but with Biden having the numerical edge." Malloy added:
According to the poll, "In a five-person hypothetical 2024 general election matchup adding independent candidate Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Trump receives 38 percent support, Biden receives 35 percent support, Kennedy receives 17 percent support, and West and Stein each receive 3 percent support."
